Isaiah 60:10–17

¹⁰Foreigners shall build up your walls,

and their kings shall minister to you,

for in my wrath I struck you down,

but in my favor I have had mercy on you.^*

¹¹Your gates shall always be open;

day and night they shall not be shut,

so that nations shall bring you their wealth,

with their kings led in procession.^*

¹²For the nation and kingdom

that will not serve you shall perish;

those nations shall be utterly laid waste.^*

¹³The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,

the cypress, the plane, and the pine,

to beautify the place of my sanctuary,

and I will glorify where my feet rest.^*

¹⁴The descendants of those who oppressed you

shall come bending low to you,

and all who despised you

shall bow down at your feet;

they shall call you the City of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.^*

¹⁵Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

with no one passing through,

I will make you majestic forever,

a joy from age to age.^*

¹⁶You shall suck the milk of nations;

you shall suck the breasts of kings,

and you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior

and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.^*

¹⁷Instead of bronze I will bring gold;

instead of iron I will bring silver;

instead of wood, bronze;

instead of stones, iron.

I will appoint Peace as your overseer

and Righteousness as your taskmaster.
